Join The Baltimore Sun on August 26 for a Facebook live discussion introducing Report for America corps member Stephanie García, hosted by community coordinator Thalia Juarez.
The Sun will be hosting a discussion in Spanish at 12:30 p.m. and one in English at 1 p.m. on our Facebook page.
Stephanie writes stories that are relevant to Baltimore’s Latino communities for The Sun. She is a bilingual and multimedia journalist with Dominican and Puerto Rican roots.
She was a News Assistant for PBS NewsHour and a foreign desk intern for The Independent. She spent two years teaching English in Madrid and served the Phoenix refugee community as an AmeriCorps VISTA.
She also has experience interning at the Orlando Weekly and the CBS television affiliate in Orlando, as well as writing freelance articles about refugees. Originally from New York, Stephanie graduated magna cum laude from Rollins College.
The donor-financed Report for America national service program places emerging journalists with local news organizations to report on under-covered topics and communities.
Stephanie will be answering questions about her previous work in journalism as well as how she plans to approach her beat at The Sun.
